They should have never made it into a trilogy.
"The Matrix" was fine by itself in the sense that even though it was open-ended and open to interpretations, it was still fun talking about the possibilities introduced into the story; like, I remember people back then thinking that maybe Neo is now godlike in the matrix, or some people think that the whole movie is just a fable of sorts or maybe a social statement and such(I seriously think that Neo is a liberal, and therefore evil. ALSO, he sucks cocks.)
But then the reloaded and revolutions happened, which sort of boxed the whole thing. It managed to complicate and limit the mythos at the same time. All it offered was more "cool" fight scenes and, like what Steve T said, oodles and oodles of cliches. and then they also had a sex scene between Carrie Ann Moss and Keannue Reaves where so much bad camera angles and shadows meant that the only piece of skin we'd ever see is on Keannu Reaves's Ass. damn them to hell.
And here's the worst part: Now there are legions upon legions of geeks who think that they're so clever because they can wax philosopical about the Matrix. Like, "Ooooh! I'm so clever because I noticed that Neo is an anagram for One and that Neo parallels Jesus Christ's life" and I'm like, "Fuck you. There's nothing clever about that. The themes in the Matrix are so blatantly obvious that a moron like you can drone about them for hours." AND HAVE I MENTIONED THAT THEY DIDN'T SHOW CARRIE ANN MOSS'S TITS?
